TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR. NO. 27. Separate Blouses CORNER THE separate blouse, when it matches the suit or skirt in color, is a smart and practical addition to the wardrobe, and may be worn on endless occasions. This season it is in high favor, especially if made of net or crinkton over matching silk. Two semi-dressy blouses are CARE OF THE LACE CURTAINS Must Be Handled Gently During Washing Process, or They Will Soon Wear Out. Lace curtains will not bear rubbing. All the work must be done carefully and gently. For two pairs of curtains half fill a large tub with warm water and add to it half a pound of soap, which has been shaved fine and dissolved in two quarts of boiling water; add also a gill of household ammonia. Let the curtains soak in this over night. In the morning soak them well in the water and squeeze it all out, but do not wring the curtains. Put them into another tub of water, prepared with soap and ammonia, as on the night before; sop them gently in the water, and then, after squeezing out the water, put them in a tub of clean warm water. Continue to rinse them in fresh tubs of water until there is no trace of soap; next rinse them in water containing bluing. After pressing out all the water possible spread the curtains over sheets on the grass; or, if you have no grass, put them on the clothes line. When they are dry dip them in hot thick starch and fasten them in the frame that comes for this purpose. If you have no frame fasten a sheet on a mattress and spread the curtains on this, pinning them in such a manner that they will be perfectly smooth and have all the patterns of the border brought out. Place in the sun to dry. If it is desired to have the curtains a light erase shade rinse them in weak coffee, and if you want a dark shade use strong coffee. The Flat Muff. The fat muff, soft and flexible, with ends fully opened, is a favored model, but in order to keep the hands warm on a really cold day it has been necessary to add an extra "bed." One can easily manufacture this article at home, so that if the muff lacks this addition the owner may like to bring it up to date if she is told how to make the pocket. Cut two pieces of silk or satin the length of the muff and of such width that when sewed around in muff shape the "muff" is just large enough to receive the hands. This is slipped into ends at the top. Below the "bed" the muff lies flat. It is really a muff within a muff. An Organdle Bag. Painting the lily is not more delicate work than the improving of organdie, but women who are artists with the needle have done even this. Fancy work bags have been made of this thinness of crisp party dress materials, and each blossom has been first outlined with untwisted silk floss. The prettiest organide bags are made of a large square; the casing describes a huge circle and is an inch wide blas strip of the material. The four corners form a petal-like heading, each point faced with a piece cut to fit it, and on these turned-over pieces of the organdie appears the tracery of gold-colored floss that is to give the final finish. Hip Trimming on Skirts. A few of the plaited models in short walking skirts show a stitched band round the hips. This is not applied in the old-fashioned way, straight around the figure. It is started at the waist line, the ends of the band being together or crossed. They swing down the front of the skirt, around the hips and up toward the belt at back. Hate Oddly Trimmed. A new and more or less eccentric note in millinery is to place the trimming of a hat at the back. Bunches of algrettes, cockades, stiff quills that no self-respecting bird would own and a great panache of feathers rise upstanding at the back of the hat. THE GAZETTE A sketched, the first of olive green tucked net, with a frill and gulpe of cream lace, gold cord, and gold embroidery. The other blouse is old blue tucked chiffon, bralded in matching, soutache and silver, and trimmed with velvet ribbon of much darkor shade. JEWELS FOR EVERY CROWN For those who cannot afford handsome jewelry in precious stones and for those also who want a change from the conventional, there are lovely effects to be worked out in such precious stones as lapis lazuli, light emeralds or amethysts. Costumes matched in such accessory are smartly finished. For instance, one young woman is wearing on the little finger of her right hand a huge silver ring of Greek design, embedded with a very dark cabuchon lapis lazuli. It is used with a navy blue sergeur glass blouse, the black satin belt held at the front by two antique silver buckles. Another instance of original and beautiful jewelry is carried out in the pale emeralds, which are lovely in opaque, light green. The owner wears them as rings, five stones in a row set in Roman gold, and there is a bar pin to match with the stones cut round and set in full relief. With a black gown, embroidered at yoke in green and gold, these trinkets are stunning. Amethysts are lovely with suits or gowns that shade into that color. The golden topaz has come into great favor—Vogue. FOR THE EVENING. The simplicity and charm of this dress makes it most suitable for a young girl; our model was made up in cream bloom silk, and has the bodice and over-skirt both arranged so that they cross over from right to left; the skirt part is edged by a pretty rose-patterned insertion, while the bodice has a lace bertha taken round the top and partly down one side; the little over-sleeves are trimmed to match, and fall over chiffon puffs; the tucker is also of the chiffon, and the under-skirt is closely plaited. Materials required: 8 yards silk 42 inches wide, 5½ yards insertion, 1½ yard chiffon. One Lapel Enough. The single lapel is sufficient unto the day and night for a new long coat. It is faced with beautiful embroidery and weighted down by means of a long tassel at the point. It is extremely large and falls from the chin to the waist in a ripple. At the wearer's wish the lapel may be taken and thrown over one shoulder, so that the tassel part will hang at the back. In front the throat and chest will be cozily covered. It is a charming idea when making a walking or motor coat. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1910. ANOTHER BANK IN ITS OWN HOME!

The bank has an authorized capital of $50,000, with $26,045 paid in. Its president is Henry N. Newoine; cashier, James R. Knox; manager of the real estate department, William J. Robinson; stenographer, Miss Sarah J. Duncan. The bank will do business in its own matters, a three-story brick building, 256 St. Michael street, which the directors recently purchased. Marlon, Ala., although a small town is fortunate in having a number of thrifty, industrious, and well-do business men and farmers. Some of those who are worthy of mention are Messrs. S. Daniel, Gilbert Jones, Charles Smiley, J. H. Key and Gus Mitchell, who are chief businessmen, business, carrying stock any where from $500 to $2,000. The leading merchants, however, are the Childs Bros., who are not only the proprietors of one of the largest groceries in the place, located on the main street in their own building, but they are also confectioners and own the only bakery in town. Twenty-five percent of the latter business, and the sons have continued it ever since, without any competition. They likewise run a truck patch, of two acres, from which they sold $500 worth of plants last spring and $500 worth of cabbages this fall, besides other garden products. Some of the other frugal and well-do businessmen, including Wedgeworth, Summit Anderson, Edward Towns and Orange Benson, who manage from 160 to 150 acres yearly. H. B. Davis is the proprietor of a cafe for whites. It is very popular and patronized. He has been in the business for over 30 years and has made money at it. John Williams is a large businessman, a father, having a great of experience, by means of which he has prospered. William M. Alston has been for over 14 years instructor in the mechanical department of the orphan home for while children, located at Oxford, N. C. "The home is the property of the Grand Lodge of white Manors, and the orphan home appropriately appropriates $1000 for its maintenance annually. There are about 225 pips of both sexes in the orphanage -125 of whom are boys. Mr. Alston teaches the latter how to make soap, doors, blinds, and build a house. He is also the person employed there in such a capacity. More than once efforts have been made to displace him for a white man; but on account of his services being so satisfactory, the authorities of the institution have persistently requested that the petitioners, or to be influenced by the demands of the prejudice. The Silk Manufacturing Co. of Rocky Mount, N. C., incorporated with an authorized capital of $50,000, began business November 15, 1999. It is the only Negro manufacturer in the world on so expensive a plan of operation, the work building with a frontage of 40 feet and a depth of 150. On the first floor is the silk factory; the second and third, cotton; on the fourth, there is an evolution of the raw' material into the finished products, such as overalls, jackets, aprons and the like. The operatives in this factory are two or three hundred boys and girls age seven and eight years, together with a goodly number of young women. The officers of the company are: T. W. Thurston, president; O. J. Pittman, vice president; C. F. Rich, secretary and attorney; S. M. Young, treasurer; F. W. Davies, president of the board. The president and founder, T. W. Thurston, was once manager of the silk mills now in successful operation of the company, which there are from 600 to 700 little colored boys and girls skilfully and carefully' manipulating the delicate skins of silk, as they spin around the thousands of bobblins and pass over hundreds of looms. The owners of these mills are northern men of New Jersey, but they are run on behalf of the Negro community. The cotton mill of Rocky Mount, however, is altogether owned and operated by Negroes. R. L. Kearney of Greenville, N. C. is another member of the race, who has demonstrated the fact, that the Negro can do things like other people. He is the inventor of a patented improvement in plows. It is a boltless combination plow. The work of three plows is accomplished in one, two, and three stages and shares or wings, sweeps and half sweeps of various shapes and sizes, best adapting them to all stages of growing crops. It has also a complete set of castings which constitute it a turning plow with three sizes of wings, the smallest making it suitable for breaking very hard or rough land. All parts are changeable. The position of handles and beam may be changed to suit the requirement. Only the handles are required, and upon these may be fitted any shape or size castings to meet the demand of the work at hand. NATION'S CAPITAL OUTRAGE. How Taft, Your Senators and Congressmen are Robbing Our Children to Educate Others'.... Washington, D. C.—There is an ur- gent need of more schoolhouses and larger schoolhouses for the colored children of the District of Columbia. The accommodations for them at present are so inadequate that many of the children can attend school but half a day, and that is a violation of the laws of education appreciate the situation clearly, and in their estimates to the commissioners they asked for $603,500 for new buildings for colored schools and $1,559,630 for new buildings for white schools, making a total of $2,163,130, of which 28 per cent to be expended for the board of colored schools and 20 per cent of missioners, in their attempt to carry out the economy policy of the present administration, cut the estimates for white schools down to $331,000 and the estimate for colored schools down to $83,000, a total for both of $141,000, of which only 14 per cent was asked for children. And then the house of representation, in their attempt to tripple appropriation, which was passed December 21, 1900, increased the amount asked by the board of commissioners for new schoolhouses for white children by $241,000, but cut down the allotment for schoolhouses for colored children $48,000, fully 60 per cent of the total appropriation, but reducing the colored schools only 4 per cent of the total appropriation instead of the 28 per cent asked by the board of education and the 14 per cent asked by the commissioners. But this is not unprecedented. The following state cent will show the appropriations made by congress for new schools and the 14 per cent asked by the public schools of the District of Columbia during the years named: White Seated Colored Schools, Schools, Pet. $ 221,800 $156,000 41 1901 ... 242,000 155,000 39 1902 ... 147,000 61,944 28 1903 ... 159,000 61,944 28 1904 ... 170,000 61,944 28 1905 ... 150,000 40,800 21 1906 ... 150,000 40,800 21 1907 ... 321,158 55,200 14 1908 ... 419,000 125,000 22 1909 ... 469,000 122,000 21 1910 ... 772,000 85,000 4 Total ... 35,129,578 $760,657 20 You will receive from the above statement that money has been general in its treatment of the white children of the district, and the app- ropriations for new schoolhouses have been proportionate to the increase in population during the last few years. But that cannot be said of the appropriations for schools for children, and the amount provided for them may not be sufficient for any year except 1904, when money was appropriated, and 1905, when the amount ($7,713. White economy is an excellent virtue and the determination of President Taft cut out down the expenditures of the government to the lowest possible level. It is universally commended. I do not believe that the Senate and member of the Senate and house of representatives will justify him in investing at the expense of the co- ncluded children of the national capital.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SOUTHLAND ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT MAKE ME LIKE THAT BECAUSE CAN'T DECIDE WHAT THEY ARE Two Beautiful Young Girls Terribly Mistreated on a Southern Railroad and in the Courts there Because is its weakness they are Afro-Americans. New Orleans, La. Just how prominent a part the color line plays in the south was shown recently, when the Misses Edith and Bell Lee, daughters of Mr. Sam Lee of Tannany Parish, were brought before the judges of the supreme court, so that they might have ocular proof as to the girls' rachial identity. The question at issue was: Are the Lee girls colored or white? Up to this time it is still a mooted question. Last summer the Misses Lee boarded the train at Folson and coached to Covington in the "white" coach. They were not molested, as the conductor believed they were of that race. However, upon their return trip, Conductor Spies spied them riding with the "whites" and ordered them to take seats in the "Jim Crow" car. Although the girls demurred, they finally went into the coach. As they arrived, the coach and were informed by the conductor that unless they left the coach immediately, they would be put off the train. Arriving at a small station, the Misses Lee alighted and walked a mile in the dark to the home of acquaintances, who drove them to their residence, a distance of 12 miles. The girls were due at home at 7 o'clock. The girls were distracted because parents become nonappearanceed because of their nonappearanceed in the meantime. Proceedings were brought against the New Orleans Great Northern railroad for damages, it being charged that the Jim Crow" coach, at the first trial of the case, the jury made up of southerners, and all claimants, after wringing for hours, reported to the court that no agreement could be reached, some claiming that the Lee girls were colored and others that they were "white." Then the case was tried a second time before a judge, who gave judgment for the railroad company, and the case was appealed to the supreme court. The judge said that the judges could decide in their minds as to what race they belonged. During the trial, the girls sat in the front seat, where they attracted some attention, as both of them are very pretty, with straight, black hair and cleaner features. Their father claims they have Indian blood, but that there is no Negro blood in their veins. During the trial, both the girls were asked to stand, and both the girls were told over the orded they were forced to undress, but after a time they dried their "cats" and became interested auditors. OUR DUTY! From Now on Until the Presidential Election in 1912. Editor Harry C. Smith, of The Gazette, Cleveland, O., in a recent issue of his paper, boasts that he did not vote for either Taft or Bryan; he is not an innocent Afro-American who was fleeing from a Springfield, Ill., mob-of "white" brutes while the candidate referred to was addressing a public meeting in that town. That man the mob tore up upon the road to get the Afro-American who had sought and found refuge there. We had intended to vote for Debs (since we could not "stomach" the prejudiced south's allies, Bryan and Taft), until the incident occurred referred to above. Then, we urged all the manly, self and race-respecting voters of the city to apprehend the appreciation of an act so soddem reprehensible that for the Prohibition candidate for president of the United States. Haven't we a right, and good cause to "boast" that we "did not vote for either Taft or Bryan," both of whom have openly showed more respect and regard for four-moulted Bill Tennan and southern Democracy, than for the vital interests of our entire race? We have no editor of our esteemed contemporary, the Freeman, agrees with us, too. His editorial, "Politically. What of the Night," is excellent and has the right ring. Keep it up, confere, until after the next presidential election, and our "agitation," which will really education, will do much to solve the problem. "It" that ignores makes clear. We have been "at it" for years and take some credit to ourselves for the very excellent showing Ohio's Afro-American voters made in the fall of 1988, when fully three-fourths of them refused to vote for presidential candidate Taft. Let us keep up the campaign, and in 1912 the mass of our citizens in the north, at least, will know their duty—what to do—and will do it like men.—The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. Certainly you are right to vote according to the dictates of your conscience, and we admire your choice in yourself, we bullied you in election. Like yourself, we bullied you because and for the same identical reasons you give, and we speak frankly when we tell you now that we are not pleased with Taft's policies so far as they relate to the Negro citizen. Our struggle and contention now and on must be a struggle and contention that will be for the oppressed multitude, larger and more opportunities for the Negro, and for "every right with all our might." No compromise. We must take a stand, an independent stand, cease voting the straight Republican ticket because of war measures. The war is over and slavery is over. We should rather vote for men and measures, especially when those men and measures have the presidency observe the most possible interests of the country and the Negro. We are with you, Hoo Harry C. Smith, because we have always found you clean and true; interested in that which is best for the advancement of the race. Let us work this thing out and help the brethren to be there "with the goods" on next presidential election day. The Freeman is with you, and all who are of our way of thinking. Taxation without representation is wrong, unrepublican and undemocratic. Let us agitate!-Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. DOINGS OF THE RAGE Parthenia Skinner, aged 196, died on the 19th at Frankfort, Ky. The Atkins and Howard factions of Elkins, have decided to unite, at last, Good.

The New York courts have decided that the Afro-American, Edward Johnson, is entitled to the $20,000 left him by Bridget Torpry, an aged Irish cook who made her home at his house for years. Evelyn Hill, Mass., $10,000 factory, owned by Afro-Americans, is turning out the "Frederick Douglass" shoe, Send us a pair. Mobile, Ala., has 52 Afro-American letter-carriers. Cleveland, has almost that many Afro-American postoffice clerks and 15 or 20 carriers. Champion "Jack" Johnson' is to challenge Burrs in Australia, and Joo Jeanne in Paris, France, after his fight with Jeffries in July, which Barney Oldfield and Battling Nelson pick him to win. William Morrell of St. Louis, Mo., rescued an Irish lad, James McCarthy; from the Mississippi river recently, in which he had fallen through the ice boarded "Moon" on the bank jeopardized at the lad when he wont to save the boy. The Maryland board of state aid and charities has recommended to the legislature that $41,000 be appropriated during the next two years for Afro-American institutions. This includes $3,000 for the Provident hospital of Baltimore. Reporters of daily papers, particularly in New York City, can write more lies and publish them, about "Jack Johnson" than the rest of their kind in the entire country combined. "The house" he sent our last week from New York City, is a case in point. Bishop L. B. Scott, after several months 'in this country, is returning to Africa, where he has spent several years as a missionary bishop of the Mt. Church. Bishop Alexander Walters of the company companying him, and will look over his church's work in that country. Billy Brady, former manager of Corbett and Jeffries, says that "Jack Johnson is a better fighter than Peter Jackson ever was. John L. Sullyan does not agree with Brady in this, and says Jackson is the better man of the company companying him. Peter, You can now guess why. Miss Louise Schillhammer (white), daughter of one of the wealthiest businessmen of Jericho, Vermont, and John W. Davis, an Afro-American who has carried the mail from the postoffice to the railroad for years, went to New York on January 16, and were married. She leader in the church work and social life of her home town. In a recent interview, John L. Sullivan, ex-champion, after saying Johnson would whip Jeffries, said: "But at the same time I don't consider Johnson a great man. He never was and never will be as good a fighter as he could be. The cannot be spoken of as anywhere then. Johnson has only been defeating small men, follows from 20 to 40 pounds lighter than himself, whereas Peter Jackson met men as big as himself, and cleaned them up. He was a great fighter, and it was only an accident that prevented his beating Corbett. He hurt his ankle a few days before and went into the ring a very long man. At that he went 64 rounds with Corbett, and hold his own." Beaver Falls, Pa. Brevities. Mr. and Mrs. John Robinson and daughter of _____ spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Grimes.

He has always gone forward; not backward. Almost next day, after a recent visit of a large delegation of Virginia Afro-Americans to the White House to meet with President Obama, to office, of white men noted for their unreasonable antagonism to Afro-Americans, President Taft appointed C. J. Smithers, a well-known "lily-white" demopub, United States marshal for one of the districts of that state. They ought to have had better sense than to go to him. Wait, what square accounts with "the big mush of concession," as the Hon. Frank Sainborn of Massachusetts, terms President Taft. --- Speaking of a little "till" of words anent the army, Taft and Tillman had at a banquet recently, John Tenplem Graves of Georgia, now an employee of the W. R. Hearst papers in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, said recently in Washington, D. C., letter to the Chicago Examiner: "Near Tillman miller are my nephews, I have the tilt, not have they lost anything of mutual regard for each other." Loving the South with all of its silly, foolish prejudices as both do, how could it be otherwise? Of course Taft and Tillman miller are not the "nag" and lack of the Negro or "nag" and (better) Afro-American. The two T's make a fine (2) pair, don't they? AN INHARMONIOUS DUET. After the recent meeting of Governors at the White House, Gov. Anselm of South Carolina said: "Centralization and State's rights, that for a century or more have been singing solos, mostly in discord, will now in a new form of congruency. Soon women should cable this to Roosevelt. It would make him quite as unhappy as Taft did soon after his nomination in 1908. Whenever "centralization" and "states' rights" sing Ansel's "harmonious duet" the South's victory over the north will indeed be complete, as also will be the elimination of the Afro-American as a citizen-factor of this great country, if indeed President Taft does not finish this last job before the end of his term of office. He has gone so far in his handling of it, that the outlook on the future does not depend on a realization of the fact that there is "more truth than poetry" in the South Carolina Governor's remark. And our four or five alleged "national" organizations go on "sleeping the sleep" of the criminally negligent! Likewise, the great mass of the members of the race. How long, O. Lord, how long! The local tax board held dispute over the hiring of men in general Wednesday, and decided that no Negroes at all are to be hired as measuring men. Two had applied. Next week the board will take on about 150 men to measure the buildings of the city inside and that. These men will cost $2.50 to $4 per day. The job ought to be good until May 1. Our people have no chance to get any of these places and can thank one Bates for the loss of this opportunity. Theo. M. Bates, the public representative of the board, spoke as follows: "Her job has appointed two colored men as deputy building inspectors, and I think he made a big mistake," he said. "Whatever may be our personal feelings about the race question, we are appraisalists, and prejudice here in Cleveland. These building inspectors have to enter homes, and many people do not like the idea of having Negro officers going through their buildings as appraisalists, and therefore men would not have to enter houses at all." "What are you going to have them do?" demanded Democratic Member John A. Zangerle. "Stop at the doors and ask what's inside. You'd get a mighty job. That is what the卫星 is to be carried on." Theodore Bates is an East End Republican whom our people have helped to elect to county offices several times, the last being in November last when he was elected to his present position on the tax board. Thank God! we did not vote for him. O. Bates, just run for public office again, please! JOBEPH BENSON FORAKER. A Chicago daily paper said last week: "Mr. Foraker's call on the president at the White House to address climate events in the last presidential campaign, and it called attention to another campaign in the coming autumn." 1666, and we may again be prominent THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1910. Senator Foraker will always "be prominent." He is too big a man, mentally, to live in this country and be otherwise. It is not necessary that he be actively engaged in politics to "be prominent," as he is a constitutional lawyer, a jurist who has no superior, as well as a STATESMAN almost without a peer in American life. The average Ohioian has only to recall this state's representation in the upper and lower branch of congress, to fully appreciate the above facts. Senator Foraker ought to be returned to the United States Senate. He is not a senator, but a senator is felt greatly. It is (at least in our judgment) this that caused President Foraker, who owes his first public position, as Judge of the Superior Court of Cincinnati, to Governor Foraker, that caused the President to send for him, last week. If it means his return to the Senate, the entire country (and our people particularly) have every reason to congratulate itself. There is nothing that Taft can do that will come nearer to making our people "forgive and forget" in his life. He is the greatest of our great and good friend, the Senator, to his own, a seat in the United States Senate. It is, too, about the only thing, except death, that will keep him from being the next President of these United States. "FLIM-FLAMMED GOOD AND A PLENTY." AGENTS! READ!

HIRSTIUS GUILTY SAY BOTH OF THEM CITY CLERK WITT AND DIRECTOR SPRINGBORN GIVE INSIDE INFORMATION. WHY STREET WAS NOT OPENED The Gazette Was Right in Its Content as Usual—Our Refusal to Support Hirstus and Others Fully Justified—Some Interesting Letters. As is well-known The Gazette was bitterly opposed to the election of Sheriff Gur Hirstus, because when a member of the council (from the 11th ward) Hirstus refused to perform his duty, he was sent from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between Perry street and Greenwood street, because a few prejudiced Cedar avenue residents asked him not to perform his duty, so he would come through "the street from Cedar avenue and "peer into their windows." He withdrew an ordinance which he introduced in the council (authorizing the proper city authority to perform its duties) of the above mentioned rights. died Cedar avenue residents. When he was rescued to the connect, Hirshus, a second time, promised to have the street cut through, but steadily refused to keep his promise. The following is petition and self-explanatory. Read the letters carefully and thoughtfully: Office of The Gazette. Cleveland, Nov. 19, 1908 Mr. Peter Witt, City Clerk Dear Sir, Justice Hirschmute a statement in a political meeting to the effect that he had passed an ordinance, resolution or something in the city council, provided by the city government, Central avenue to Cedar avenue, between East Twenty-second and East Twenty-eighth streets, opposite Sked street, or in that vicinity, which he passed, provided by the city government in July last the work of cutting the street through has been held up ever since by Director Springham or someone else connected with the city government. How much, if any, truth is there in his claim? Last year or the year before the one individual introduced an ordinance, provided by the city council, providing for cutting a street through in the same vicinity. Will you tell me whether or not the request referred to was ever passed by the council, and why the street was not cut through at that time? By compiling with the above requests at your office, you will greatly oblige me. Your truth. Nov. 22, 1998 Hon. H. Y. Smith, November 2, 1988 Dear Sir: On July 9, 1986, resolution No. 5268 by Mr. Hirstus provided for the opening of East Twenty-fifth place to Cedar avenue. it passed the amendment that the provement was not made for the reason that Mr. Hirstus did not want it. His reasons for not wanting it, I have explained, are that the people in the immediate vicinity of the proposed opening did not want people of your race to come through. Only of the present year there was a resolution introduced, and passed in June, looking for the making of a new street between Central Avenue and opposite Shod Street. This improvement never made for the reason that the money in possession of the city through the sale of homes was for the making of new streets, and not the making of new streets. It is the custom of the administration to defer to the wishes of councillors in the city to make the decision feel sure that the only reason the improvement at East Twenty-fifth place was not made was because of race prejudice which Mr. Hirstus listened Would suggest that you call up her Springbrook and get from him a confirmation of what I have given to you as a camerar.

Boston, May 29, 1909. Mr. William Kendall Walling, Sec'y, Nate, New York City. Dear Sir, I regret my inability to attend at the conference and record my protest against the rising title of race prejudice and caste bias. I am not endlessly met, regardless of the inherent respectability that now lends condescension to this resurgent spirit of slavery. As former days, I have been a slave, and down comes from its professed friends. The Vardilman and Tillmans are harmless in comparison. Their brutal awaful of a purpose to remove the slave from his vassalage, through evasion, or defiance of constitution and law, repels humane souls and makes for justice. It is men of socialized, social problems, arguing to themselves the character of friendly advisers of the colored people, yet viewing the question from the sum of race pride and birth, who are most From these come easy acquiescence in the abrogation of the fifteenth amendment, the approval of separate schools based on completion, and an agreement of white deterioration—while contemplating without disturbance the unabated illicit connections so flagrantly in evidence. The erred leads to the unanticipated complication of people liberated by lynchings proclamation; compassing by force or fraud the end for which the southern conederacy fought and failed. Now, as democracy is in the process of whether soft government can survive in a land where material interests long overshadow the principles and enthusiasm of liberty. It is the fair weather southwesternity and weaker resistance to privilege. I trust that the conference will utter no unacquainted sound on any point affecting the vital subject. No part of it is unacquainted with the question. Requirement an experiment is at stake, every tolerated wrong to the Negro reacting with double force upon white citizens guilty of rathlessness to their brothers. The rampant antipathy to the Oriental races is part and parcel of the problem. An absolute refusal to differentiate the rights of human beings. Each has equal claim to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — no outworn institution in the fashion of the majority to decide. I put political rights before educational. Universities have no difficulty in rearing despots, and the wicked laws of all nations are the handwoven fabric of ignorance blunder and bad laws result. Under impartial self-government the blunderers reap the punishment and learn wisdom and self-restraint. No school of civilization in educating a people. Learning never yet guaranteed rights; rights universally secured are the sure guarantee of learning. Let the unanimous voice of the common people be the opportunity to all race, color and sex without distinction, in face of the consistency all-abounding in this dark day. Years for a united humanity. WILLIAM CARRISON Meat Man Fights Trust Canton, O. Petitions circulated here in stores and shops against eating meat are having their effect.

Board, who recently accused representatives of buying houses with informing him that the market prices must be paid or that the goods will be taken elsewhere.

Johnstown, Pa.-Laying on a large raconte, the capture of which had contributed to the cause of his death, the body of Russell Bowman, 27, a widely known Somerset county farmer, was found by friends who had instituted a searching party after he had been found in the town. The body of the man and the raconte were pinned to the ground by the trunk of a tree in the mountains. The man's back had been broken. Beside the body, when found, lay Bowman's ax, gun, hat and coat. Blast Shakes Pittsburg Pittsburgh, Pa.—One man was consumed by the flames and six are in hospitals suffering with burns received when a huge gasoline tank exploded on the bridge over the brothers on Herrs island, a few miles from this city in the Allegheny river.

Rain Falling White Rising 'Seine Undermines City and Destroys Human Life and Property—Many Villages Cut Off Paris, France. Fighting against the elements let loose seemingly for the destruction of portions of Paris and for a large portion of the city. Every known building is being taken by soldiers and citizens to save property from the turbulent Seine. With rain falling and sky overcast with threatening clouds the river continues to rise at nearly an inch an hour. Every minute brings greater destruction. Reports of drownings are being received from all sides. Great fissures in the ground indicate how the flood is undermining the city. Streets are giving way under the strain and thousands of buildings are threatened with collapse. Every way under the already given failure of the gas and electric lighting plants, Paris is confronted with an off-fatine. The walls of the d'orsay railway station have given way under the enormous pressure and a vast volume of water has poured under the roadway, lifting it bodily and washing blocks of wood along like straws. The whole quarter is now flooded to a depth of two feet. Death Roll Is Growing. Reports received here from Rouen say that the quays and fields for many miles are under water. Half the town of Laisanne, in the department of the submerged and hundreds of refuges of refuge in the city of Paris, Extensive floods have occurred in Gironde, where the rivers continue to rise at an alarming rate. The snowstorm has ceased and the weather is moderating, but the Seine is still rising and Paris, like a doomed city, is holding its breath in terror, half the city is in darkness. In the instructions which cannot longer be sent by telephone, the army of police, firemen and soldiers give the appearance of a city fighting for its life. Every minute brings graver dangers. New areas are being inundated, quays are collapsing, yawning clams appear the water of the Seine has invaded the active labyrinth of underground Paris. What new disaster will come to the waterlogged city before the Seine begins to fall no one can predict. Already the damage is officially announced, it will be four hours additions more. The flood promises to exceed the limits of a national disaster and become international. The death roll also is growing at a frightful rate, and when the epidemic, which now appears inevitable, breaks out it will run into thousands, appeared among the refugees at tux. Quays Are Under Water. The extent of the floods in Paris may be judged by the fact that about half the length of the quays within the city are under the waters which are pouring into the streets and thousands of laborers and soldiers are working like mad to build cement walls to hold back the current. The foreign office and the Hotel Palais have been abandoned as the cellars of the Gare St. Lazare were in continental hotel and many residences in the aristocratic quarter are rapidly being evacuated. There is ten feet of water in the subway station in front of the Gare St. Lazare, and the sinking of the square threatens to carry down the adjacent buildings. Great sections of the French capital are under flooded square miles of the historic tote de douloure being submerged. Bakers Thrown Into River. The Seine touched the keystone of the arch of the Alma bridge. The back water overflowed the Cours la Rive to a depth of nearly five feet, and the basins of basements of the city cont residence there. The collar at the home of United States Ambassador Bacon was filled and its furnace fire drowned out. The ambassador is now left without heat or light in his home. In the fashionable Avenue Pierre-Charbon a great rent extending 100 feet opened, enquiring a cab and a carriage. The subway at several points has been avaded by the sewerage from the overflowing drains. Paris is beginning to feel the pich of hunger. Details of the flooded regions of the provinces are harrowing in their monarchy of broken dykes in the canals and the inundate of villages, and in the in southwest were rising rapidly. The swollen Lore has caused heavy damage in the province of Touraine. Italy Is Storm Swent. Rome, Italy—The weather has been stormy throughout Italy for several days, causing considirab- damage. The storm here was especially intense, causing the country, while many trees and walls were blown down, a number of persons being injured. Along the Mediterranean coast the damage is even more serious. Several boats were driven ashore. In the south there were enormous floods and numerous earth shocks have occurred in that section.

The length of life of an average woman, in Brussels at least, is superior to man. Statistics show that during the last two years the feminine element has predominated in the Brussels population. In *'908* there only 7,848 boys in the Belgian capital between the ages of 10 and 15 and 7,903 girls of the same age. After 20 years the difference increases in favor of the woman and while Brussels only possessed 9,383 males of 20 to 25 years and 9,181 of 25 to 30 the fairest half of the human race was represented by 11,701 and 11,899 respectively. This supremacy of the feminine element keeps positively to the end, at least as far as Brussels is concerned. We learn further that while Brussels has only 65 men of 85 to 90 years and 10 nonagenarians only, she can count 184 women between the ages of 85 and 90, 35 of 90 to 95 years, and six of more than 95 years.

The statement was made not long since by a railroad man who claimed to have made the remarkable discovery that such was the case. There is not a district of a fair amount of settlement in any of the three Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, but has its school, and the railways have stations every seven or eight miles apart, around which group the towns, some large and some small, but each important to its own district. Schools are largely maintained by public funds and the expense of tuition is but a nominal sum. The final returns of the grain production for Central Canada for 1909 is now in; and the figures show that the value of the crops to the farmers of that country is about 195 million dollars, as compared with 120 million last year. American farmers or those who have gone from the United States, will participate largely in these splendid returns, and these comprise those who have gone from nearly every State in the Union. One of the many proofs that might be put forward showing the immense wealth that comes to the farmers of Central Canada is seen in the sum that has been spent during the past two or three months by the farmers who have for the time being ceased worrying over the reaper and the thresher, and are taking to enjoying themselves for two or three months. It is said that fifty thousand people of these Western Provinces spent the holiday season visiting their old homes. Most of these passengers paid forty and some forty-five dollars for the round trip. Some went to Great Britain, some to the Continent, others to their old homes in Eastern Canada, and many thousands went, to visit their friends in the States. The amount paid alone in transportation would be upward of two million dollars. Some make the trip every year. It need not be asked, "Can they afford it?" With crops yielding then a profit of $20 to $25 acre, and some having as much as twelve hundred or more acres, the question is answered. The Canadian Government Agents at different points in the States report that they have interviewed a great many of those who are now visiting friends in the different states, and they all express themselves as well satisfied, and promise to take some of their friends back with them. There is still a lot of free homestead land in splendid districts, and other lands can be purchased at a reasonable price from railway and land companies. AND TOMMY GOT BIFF.

C., told a story about discontent. "No man," he said, "can really understand chronic discontent after having eaten one of those famous pine stews of North Carolina. Chronic discontent does, however, exist. Now and then we find a case or two among farmers when the weather goes wrong. "Ah, yes, Joseph, you have cause to complain," a lawyer said to a farmer. "The harvest has been very bad, no doubt of that. But you should remember that providence cares for all, and even the birds of the air are provided for." "Yes," said the discontented farmer, so they are—off my potatoes." — Washington Post.

Sciatica is also a nerve pain. Sloan's Liniment, a soothing external application, stops neuralgia pains at once, quiets the nerves, relieves that feeling of numbness which is often a warning of paralysis, and by its tonic effect on the nervous and muscular tissues, gives permanent as well as immediate relief. One Application Relieved the Pain. Mr. J. C. LEE, of 1900 Ninth St. S. E., Washington, D. C., writes: "I advised a lady who was a great sufferer from neuralgia to try Sloan's Liniment.
